The 5 songs I'm listening to this week and why. 6/20/21 - 7/3/21
Mykko Montana - “1000”
This song might have the catchiest hook ever, “I know, I know, I know, I know, I know”. I’ve been a long time fan of Mykko ever since his hit song and dance from the 2009 song “Do it” featuring K-Camp. If that song sounds familiar to you in a different way, that’s because Lil Uzi Vert sampled the beat and melody on his own smash hit ten years later on 2019’s “Sanguine Paradise”. Mykko has been dropping hits for years and if you don’t know about him, you need to get familiar. This is my favorite Mykko song!
2. Joyner Lucas & Lil Baby “Ramen & OJ”
I don’t think anyone can question the run that Lil Baby is currently on as the biggest musician in the the rap genre. Lil Baby keeps getting better and better. Joyner Lucas on the other hand has quietly been displaying superiority in the lyrics department for years. All his freestyle remixes are fire. The man made a song about Will Smith and then inspired quite possibly Will Smith’s best verse in his historic award winning music career. You guys have read my blog about Ramen right? If not, go read it. But this song explains it perfectly. Nooobody has good memories of eating ramen haha and we all aspire to the days when we never eat it again! Love this song. Joyner is one of the few that can go toe to toe with Eminem. How can you not like him? If you like lyrics, Lucas is that dude!
3. Pop Smoke - “Mannequin” (Feat. Lil Tjay)
RIP Pop Smoke you already know everything about him! Lil Tjay on the other hand might be the most talented musician in Brooklyn right now. Tjay’s melodies and musical diversity is unmatched. He can flow and he can sing. You need to get up on him. Big facts.
4. Alesso & Tove Lo “Heroes” (we could be)
This is just a feel good song. It makes me feel like I want to fulfill all my potential!! We could be heroes! I’m stepping up for it!
5. Big Scarr - “So Icey 3” (Feat. Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, and Gucci Mane)
The NEW 1017 is nothing to play with!! With a lineup of straight all stars, just about everything they drop is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. My Brother Tariq put me onto Big Scarr and I’m a new fan! The dude drops bombs every song. Gucci Mane has my favorite part of this song though with the lyrics “My word is the law, no cap in bars, put ice on my heart, and tatts on my scars” 🌋🌋🌋
